Hi All,
I was out last weekend and noticed that one exhaust manifold (starboard side) is warmer than the port side (never really checked this before so not sure if this is normal or not). My engine temp gauge was running about 174 - 173 deg F all day even while pulling tow-able tubes. Starboard side is warm while running, port side is cool while running. I pulled my exhaust manifolds (one piece style) off last night and checked them out, i have an inspection camera with 1/4" camera and cable so i was able to get into the manifold pretty good, nothing seemed to be plugged up or cracked. I also ran water through from the bottom hose fitting, it ran through and out no problem. I also replace the water shutters both sides of the Y-pipe recently (one was missing half of the flapper) I also used the camera then to inspect the Y-pipe and exhaust bellows for the missing half, nothing found.
Any words of wisdom?
Thanks.
